There are many straightforward ways to structure things. Shelving units, shipping containers, bargain bins, moving boxes. However, there are also less visible modes of organization: how crystals form, how mold grows spores, how data shapes networks, how sentences fracture. VSVSVS are moving their things into Katzman Contemporary, and these are their storage tactics. – Daniella Sanader

For the opening, VSVSVS will be collaborated with [elephants] collective and associated artists on a performance intervention entitled Surplus Party Guest. The creative team includes: Phoebe Hu, Thomas McKechnie, Naomi Melvin, Michael Reinhart, Sofia Rodriguez, and Elizabeth Staples.

We are VSVSVS (pronounced versus versus versus), a six-person collective and artist-run centre based out of a warehouse in the portlands of Toronto, Ontario. Formed in 2010, our activities encompass collective art making, a residency program, a formal exhibition space, and individual studio practices. Our collective work focuses on the collaborative production of multiples, drawings, video works, sculpture, installations, and performance. An open framework allows each of us to play to our own interests and ends, while contributing to a common goal. Working with six heads is an experiment in being together too much and making things constantly.
